Aston Villa vs Man Utd pre-match thread

[RamboandBruno]

Martinez

Digne
Pau
Carlos
Konsa

Morgan
Onana
Barkley
Philogene

Tielemans
Watkins

Possibly go with this, only alternative really is Tielemans in his normal role and Beundia behind Ollie, might be a big ask for Beundia though, considering his lack of football.

Just watching Mark Goldbridge and all their supporters think they have no chance.

I'm worrying about our injuries.

Goldbridge is one of the few utd fans i like. Seems to really want villa do well too

2-3 - their winner in injury time. We all know it's going to happen.

"Not a lot on the bench" - you could have Durán and 6 of our goalies from U21s down to youth level on it and our bench would still be stronger than most other clubs.

I’ve given up on this fixture for many years. I actually thought we’d turned the corner on SUE’s first game - only to be followed by 4 straight defeats and some of them in that usual sickening manner.

Remy junior before SUE’s arrival kept getting optimistic every year only to be kicked in the gonads like his old man so many times before.

This year, there is a hint of rage behind SUE’s mask and I think he’s taking it as a managerial slight that they’ve gone past him 4 times in succession. He will demand a repeat of the double header last year - arse-man city, monumental performances.

I really just don’t know.

I’m still on a cloud since Wednesday.

I still cannot for the kife of me understand how we let a 2 goal lead  slip against this terrible side on boxing day

One if unais worst results for me

[London Villan]

Stevenage say hello.

[andyh]

Stevenage say hello.

Nah…..2-0 up at their place and cruising and then we fucking bottled it massively.
I agree, the Old Trafford games is the worst result under  Unai.

Move on.

Cash was on the bench against Bayern, I think he might well start? Ramsey and Bailey are both doubts. UE is optimistic Onana will play. Hopefully McGinn is fit after the international break. Mings and Kamara might be on the bench soon...

Emery said a few weeks ago that all going well Kamara and Mings would be available for selection after the international break. Highly unlikely either of them will be starting a game immediately, but it would be a hugely positive thing to have them back in a match day squad, especially Mings.
